There were worried and anxious residents, like the Tuzon family who live on Umena Street.

“Basically the fire first went up this ridge when I got home, and the fire continued up this ridge,” Radley Tuzon said. “Even though they stopped it from going forward, it went further up the mountain.”

On the other end of the street are the gates to Camp Timberline and Palehua. Steve Myers lives up there on Palehua Road and can’t get home.

“I’m pretty worried. I got a home up there, so I am hoping it is not damaged or anything like that,” said Myers.

“I’m hoping our house won’t get on fire because our house is below it,” she said. “It is not that close, but you never know.”

About 20 homes in all on Palehua were evacuated.

And as day turned to night, it became more apparent what parts of the mountain were still being eaten away by flames.

“Right now, the homes that are threatened are on Palehua Road,” said Honolulu Fire Captain David Jenkins. “We have much of the fire trucks to fight the fire and protect those structures. Most important, we want to make sure the people are safe, so we are evacuating to keep them safe.”

For now, Jenkins said Camp Timberline was not in danger.

As for the homes on Palehua Road, residents are hoping and praying for the best.
